An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stand Up to Elon Musk’s Coup!

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Do something more than statements and fundraising to Stand Up Against Elon Musk’s Coup! The reported actions by Elon Musk and his associates to gain control over critical government IT systems and processes is extremely concerning and represents a severe overreach of power. As a private citizen, Musk holds no elected office or other legitimate authority to interfere with the operations of federal agencies like the Treasury Department or the Office of Personnel Management. Allowing unauthorized individuals to access sensitive data and systems that manage trillions in funds and contain personal information of millions of federal employees is a reckless violation of security protocols. This flagrant disregard for proper procedures jeopardizes the integrity of government functions and public trust. Immediate steps must be taken to revoke any access Musk or his affiliates have obtained and reinstate full control to the career civil servants intended to operate these systems. Unelected private citizens should never be permitted to exert undue influence over core government operations in this manner. I demand you take prompt action to address this unlawful intrusion and to uphold the separation of powers and defend democratic norms.
